Design and performance analysis of a signal detector based on suprathreshold stochastic resonance

چکیده
This paper presents the design and performance analysis of a detector based on suprathreshold stochastic resonance (SSR) for the detection of deterministic signals in heavy-tailed non-Gaussian noise. The detector consists of a matched filter preceded by an SSR system which acts as a preprocessor. The SSR system is composed of an array of 2-level quantizers with independent and identically distributed (i.i.d) noise added to the input of each quantizer. The standard deviation σ of quantizer noise is chosen to maximize the detection probability for a given false alarm probability. In the case of a weak signal, the optimum σ also minimizes the mean-square difference between the output of the quantizer array and the output of the nonlinear transformation of the locally optimum detector. The optimum σ depends only on the probability density functions (pdfs) of input noise and quantizer noise for weak signals, and also on the signal amplitude and the false alarm probability for non-weak signals. Improvement in detector performance stems primarily from quantization and to a lesser extent from the optimization of quantizer noise. For most input noise pdfs, the performance of the SSR detector is very close to that of the optimum detector.

Digital Binary Phase-shift Keyed Signal Detector
We have developed the effective algorithm for detecting digital binary phase-shift keyed signals. This algorithm requires a small number of arithmetic operations over the signal period. It can be relatively easy implemented based on the modern programmable logic devices. It also provides high interference immunity by identifying signal presence when signal-to-noise ratio is much less that its w...

Our previous work on stochastic resonance (SR) in threshold based systems proved that the SR effect is dependent on the nature of the input signal distribution; more specifically, for certain types of signal distribution SR is not observed [Das A, Stocks NG, Nikitin A, Hines EL.

متن کاملSuprathreshold stochastic resonance and noise-enhanced Fisher information in arrays of threshold devices.
We analyze the parametric estimation that can be performed on a signal buried in noise based on the parsimonious representation provided by a parallel array of threshold devices. The Fisher information contained in the array output about the input parameter is used as the measure of performance in the estimation task. For estimation on a suprathreshold input signal, we establish that enhancemen...

In this paper, we explore a stochastic resonance (SR) based detector using bistable system (BS) to detect a binary pulse amplitude modulated (PAM) signal embedded in non-Gaussian noise. Through the example of BS based watermark extraction, we show that a reliable performance cannot be obtained if the BS parameters are determined by traditional tuning technique. The key observation is that the B...
متن کاملQuantization in the Presence of Large Amplitude Threshold Noise
Signal quantization in the presence of independent, identically distributed, large amplitude threshold noise is examined. It has previously been shown that when all quantization thresholds are set to the same value, this situation exhibits a form of stochastic resonance known as suprathreshold stochastic resonance. This means the optimal quantizer performance occurs for a small input signal-to-...
